"Who R U?"
Ever been asked that question? If you've ever got a new mobile phone and sent a text to a mate without
telling them your new number, they'll probably text back, "Who r u?" What do you reply? Probably your
name, but is that who you really are?
If you think about it, do you know who you really are? You'll come up with all sorts of answers to that
question.
- Your name - it's what you're called, but does it say who you are?
- Where you live
- What school you go to
- The colour of your skin
- What religion you are
- What church you go to
- What friends you hang out with
- What music you like
- What job you do
- What you do for fun
All these things say something about you, but they don't say who you are as a person. You are on a
journey to discover the real you, your purpose for being on this earth. It's tough being a young person
today. There's so much pressure. Pressure from family, friends, relationships, school, exams etc., not to
mention the stuff going on inside you as you make choices now that are going to shape your future.
